5./ Modes of Operation5./ Modes of Operation

1) Autotest: automatically toggles between all wavelengths Preferred mode for loss testing as testing time is greatly reduced. Minimises error as meter always displays correct wavelength.

2) Manual: Single wavelength operation Preferred mode for level monitoring.

3) Test Tone: Displays incoming modulation frequency

4) Slow Mode: Displays power level in the presence of test tone or low level modulation

4) KITS software: Under software control

5.1 / 5.1 / AutotestAutotest

When receiving light from a compliant source operating in Autotest mode,

the meter will auto toggle between wavelengths.

Power meter receives data which contains wavelength, source serial number and nominal source output power.

If power meter not calibrated at an incoming wavelength it will ignore it but remain in sync with other wavelengths.

If incoming power level too low at a particular wavelength it will ignore it but remain in sync with other wavelengths.

Simplest mode for loss testing

Autotest DisplayAutotest Display

When receiving light from a source operating in Autotest mode:

Screen displays up to 3 wavelengths at a time. Screen toggles if more than 3 wavelengths being received

To select wavelengthToggle [-] & [+].

Note: Wavelength toggle is not circular Most meters have the common

wavelengths grouped together for speed of access when used in manual mode. E.g. 850, 1300, 1310, 1550, 1625 nm are together

When receiving test tone or low level modulation Power meter displays modulated frequency and beepsTo measure power in the presence of tone, SlowMode is used.

9./ Instrument Care9./ Instrument Care

Keep the instrument in a carry case during storage and transport • Use only high quality batteries.

• For prolonged storage remove batteries. • The instrument is resistant to normal dust and moisture, however it is not

waterproof. • If moisture gets into the instrument, remove batteries & dry it out carefully

before using it again.

• Where possible, keep instrument away from strong sunlight.

• Clean the instrument case using Iso-Propyl-Alcohol (IPA) or other non solvent cleaning agents.

• DO NOT use Acetone or other active solvents.
